Yesterday's weather was just plain ol' awful. It was in the high 50's/low 60's and rainy... REALLY rainy. I think it was just the weathers way of letting us know that summer is over and that with tomorrow being the 1st day of fall, here in Ohio we can expect a lot more of that weather in the near future.
I used to love fall but the older I get, the less I look forward to it. Give me the heat of summer time over the chill of winter any day! I have a feeling that this wacky weather is contributing to all the illness going around school. I'm bringing out the disinfectant now and it will probably stay out until spring. That's just part of the joy of having the Littles at home.
Have you started thinking about Christmas shopping (Yes, Bailey's Leaf, I know you are done. You are my hero!)? I've started thinking... but since the boys aren't asking for anything specific yet, I haven't done much with it. The Little Man has been asking for an iPod, but at the age of 7 I'm thinking he's too young (although he uses mine like a pro). If he wants to play Angry Birds, he can just use mine. Other than a few games, I don't see the need for him to have one. He certainly wouldn't be allowed to down load anything without my permission. I've seen some of the stuff on there and even the music marked "clean version" isn't very clean most of the time.
I'd actually like to come up with one big item that would work for both boys and cut down on the amount of "stuff" we bring into the house. We have enough "stuff". I've got a few months to get this all figured out. But any suggestions would be helpful and most welcome :)
On a Food Allergy Note: My friend Henry over at Asthma Allergies Children is looking for stories of how the Emergency Room as handled you or your child when you've gone there due to having a food allergic reaction. You can send any stories you have to him at queries@asthmaallergieschildre
All of our experiences with anaphylaxis and the ER have been extremely positive ones. Luckily (knock on wood) we haven't had many, but when we've gone, we've always been taken seriously and if needed, epinephrine has been administered. In fact when my son had his first and most severe reaction, he was admitted and kept over night so they could watch for signs of a biphasic anaphylactic reaction . Some of the people that have contacted Henry regarding food allergic reactions and the ER have not been so lucky and have been fluffed off, ignored, or treated like they are overreacting in their ER. So if you have a story, good or bad, feel free to contact him and let him know.
Also, I have a post (in my head) about wheat allergies, gluten allergies and gluten free food that isn't really safe for those that suffer from oat allergies. It's complicated and I just need to set some time aside to write it down accurately. I will soon.

Sorry for the "ick" going around -- hope you're no getting it, too.
Whenever an online friend says they're sick, I feel I should disinfect my keyboard, even though I know I can't get germs from them through it, lol!
I love fall temperatures but not winter. Here fall is a refreshing break from summer but not too cold yet. I love it.
No, no Christmas shopping here yet. We just got done with birthdays. When the kids were little I could buy early, but now they have specific things they want but don't usually know exactly what at this point.
I'm sorry for the ick and grossness going around. Dances with Lysol, my friend.
You made me laugh about shopping for Christmas. I must have a bigger reputation than I thought! K- wants an iPod, too. I found a Hello Kitty iPod on the Target clearance (of course I did) marked from 30.00 to 7.50. She'll get that to start with. I'd like to see how she cares for it and if she even holds interest. Once she proves that she can do that without blasting her ears off of her body, we'll consider a real one probably at 10.
For Christmas, we have the in-law's covered, Hubs is easy as he gives me a list for Bass Pro, the people at the store take it from me and fill my basket for me and that leaves my parents (generally easy) and K-. The rest is done and in October, will start to see their wrapping. (When you work retail and you wrap tons of Christmas everyday, you have to do what you have to do.)
Be healthy!
good post thank for share :)
